History YMMV / PowerRangersTimeForce

** Strangely, even one of the mutants get this. Notacon was a minor criminal who only stole some vegetables to feed himself, gets discriminated by society and unlike Ransik, he has no desire to hurt anyone and is generally a NiceGuy who only committed very petty crimes and is forced to attack others out of his free will.

* MagnificentBastard: Part of what makes Time Force so memorable are many of the characters listed below, showing that despite being a millennium apart, these individuals can be just as morally complex as people in today's world.

* WTHCastingAgency: What are [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Albert Edward Albert]], an actual, legitimate, Golden Globe-winning actor, and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernon_Wells_(Actor) Vernon Wells]] doing in a NoBudget kids show like ''Franchise/PowerRangers''?

** The season had two episodes that could have been used to call out the [[FantasticRacism systematic racism]] the future society had towards mutants and how the Rangers were complacent in it, even if they themselves weren't racists towards mutants.
*** "Trip Takes A Stand" focuses a great deal on Eric's hitherto unmentioned racism towards mutants. And while Trip gives Eric a WhatTheHellHero speech for hating those who are different from him, the episode doesn't acknowledge the fact that Time Force placing Notacon in cryogenic containment for petty theft is very much [[DisproportionateRetribution an unfit punishment for such a minor crime]].

* ValuesResonance: "Trip Takes a Stand" has become one of the most relevant moments in Franchise/PowerRangers history, especially in the 2010s, because of it's allegory for race-based violence involving law enforcement. Even though the victim of the incident in question is a mutant instead of a human, the message is still very clear.

*** "The Last Race" revolves around Lucas and his former friend a mutant named Dash who was imprisoned for reckless driving. The episode could have brought up how sentencing towards mutants was very obviously influenced by prejudice but it never comes up.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: ''[[Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger Timeranger]]'' features its rangers donning a pre-henshin spandex suit that many found [[{{Narm}} ridiculous]]. The show seems to agree and chooses to [[AdaptedOut adapt it out]].

** Trip as shreds of this but especially in "Uniquely Trip", where he feels left out from the team, not helping by the fact that he spots kids dressing up as Time Force rangers (except for green).

*** Also, Vernon Wells gets to reference his role in ''Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior''. And what was his character's name? [[NamesTheSame Wez]].

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The original ''Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger'' was an infamous AcclaimedFlop in Japan, getting good critical acclaim among its adult PeripheryDemographic but having absolutely dreadful toy sales that held the lowest franchise sales record for the next '''eighteen years'''. In contrast, despite ''Time Force'' having relatively few changes to the original Sentai plot compared to most Sentai, the plot was simplified enough to make it understandable for the target children's' audience, and toy sales were much stronger.

** "Trip Takes A Stand" focuses a great deal on Eric's sudden racism towards mutants which was never addressed in previous episodes nor is brought up again. And while Trip gives Eric a WhatTheHellHero speech for hating those who are different from him, the episode doesn't acknowledge the fact that Time Force placing Notacon in cryogenic containment for petty theft is very much [[DisproportionateRetribution an unfit punishment for such a minor crime]].
** "The Last Race" revolves around Lucas and his former friend a mutant named Dash who was imprisoned for reckless driving. The episode could have brought up how sentencing towards mutants was very obviously influenced by prejudice but it never comes up.
** "Time for Lightspeed". It's only one episode instead of the usual two-parter reserved for these team-ups, it's all American footage, has a rushed plot, and no Megazord battles. It could have been so much better had they used the Super Sentai team-up movie ''Mirai Sentai Timeranger vs. [=GoGoFive=]'' as source material.

** "[[Recap/PowerRangersTimeForceTrustAndTriumph Trust and Triumph]]": [[EvilGenius Turtlecon]] is a particularly intelligent [[TurtlePower turtle-themed Mutant]] criminal with the ability to [[DimensionLord create his own pocket dimension]]. Luring the Rangers into a trap, Turtlecon sends them into this dimension, where they have to face off against [[PsychoRangers doppelgängers of themselves]] who are specially designed to beat them. Turtlecon effortlessly hunts them down and is seconds away from destroying them before his dimension is shattered. Even then, Turtlecon swears not to go down without a fight, enlarges himself and creates a copy of their Megazord to nearly allow him victory.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Averted. While ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce'' and ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' have been disliked for being close adaptations of their Sentai, this series is beloved despite being at least the third most faithful Ranger series to its Sentai counterpart. Perhaps because its DarkerAndEdgier than the other two. It's also might be because it's not almost ''exactly'' the same; there are several notable differences, mostly related to characterizations. They're mostly the same, but the subtle differences sprinkled here and there make a significant difference, compared to ''Timeranger''.

* {{Squick}}: The way Ransik pulls his sword from his body, that's just creepy. Hell, de-masked Ransik's appearance in general. Euuuuuuuugghhhh...
